Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a new technique to measure metals' microstructure.

By studying how light reflects from the surface of metals, engineers can now tell if manufactured parts meet quality control standards.

This time- and cost-effective technology opens new avenues for quality control of safety-critical metal components such as those used in aerospace.
